What Happened to RedRum...... 

"oh the door still opens" "That's good Rick" lol 😂 thank God everyone was okay. That was a bad fire.

Yes you can re use your stainless works headers. I’m using mine on my little red truck now that were on my truck that burned down lol.

I drive past the new shop regularly. I had no idea who’s shop it was until I spotted Redrum inside one day. A while back I noticed the burnt down truck sitting next to the shop but had no idea it was Redrum. Dang that sucks, such a clean ride! 😢

Wonder how Ryan really feels about the fire department, lol

Thank you for saving the house. I lost a house to a fire 2 weeks from a scheduled C-section with my second child. We lost everything. I know you lost your truck but when you lose your house and everything you own.. it's a horrible feeling. Thanks so much for caring about the house than your truck. You are an awesome guy.

Love you guys! Thanks for answering my husband's call in Wichita. And the Javi story!❤

On a positive note, I bet you that lawn looks damn good today

RIP Redrum, That's a shame , first time hear and seeing what happened Have a Great Day 👍 God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 RYAN and your Family and Friends

Damn !!! That is not what I had expected!! Glad no one was hurt!!

I myself am glad you do the quick recaps. I watch the lives when I can tho

What started the fire exactly? Glad everyone is okay🙏🏻

Thanks for telling us what happened to the truck! Sorry that the truck was a total loss, but I'm glad everyone is OK & the house was saved. It really could've been so much worse! The worst part about when a house burns is the loss of everything inside the house that can't be replaced & is gone forever!

It's sad and crazy when your favorite car bursts into flames and you have to watch it burn down. My ol 64 burnt down after my first attempt at wiring the car.....sizzle...some sparks....then yikes 😳. So sad that it happens and crazy when you watch it burn down and there's nothing you can do about it. Thanks Ryan for the video 📸 Lessons learned video 📸

I'm so sad that the life of that beautiful 😻 truck was cut short, very tragic. I'm glad that the crew is o.k. and the house 🏘️ was protected by brave novice Firefighters named Ryan Martin and his sidekick Robin (Hovy, Harvy, or Juavy), cool 😎 brave dudes, saving life and property when others can't, way to go heroes!!!

And my respect for firefighters continues to dwidle, except for the Brush Crews out of Reno they saved my house in San Diego actually I can attest they saved every house on my street and most likely the south side of town.

@Ryan Martin (Fireball Camaro) you should look into Stop Fyre for your fire systems there a replacement for old haylon systems there non corrosive electrically conductive and are gaseous so no mess to clean up and smaller bottles for more compact mounting in cars there used primarily in heavy equipment and farm equipment fire suppression and there handhelds are rechargeable with maintenance so as long as it’s got gas it can be used even if you’ve had to put out a couple of fires with it already

FIRE!! The one part of racing that puts absolute FEAR in every race car team members mind and heart. Another RU-vidr called "SleeperDude" might want that SC TurboCoupe for parts.. He has one. Thank GOD Ricky and that house came away from that unscathed.

Legit Fireball! Sorry for your loss!

Wish we all could rich like Ryan Martin

Damn Ryan that was a beautiful truck I'm just glad that no one was hurt and the house did not burn down!! But thank you for the update and let's go FOR THE 4th CHAMPIONSHIP OF N.P.K. LETS GO!!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

4am in Cali I’m having a few Birthday beers by myself but I can’t miss a Ryan Martin Video. Hope to see y’all in California soon Champ. 🙌🏽💪🏽🍻

Good luck in NPK this season!

Glad no one got hurt however….was that a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe sitting next to the shell of Redrum??

Damn I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time. It’s been hard to keep under wraps got pictures of the truck the day it happened from my cousin Pat.

Ryan since you're pretty convinced that engines shot how about I pay you scrap price for it and try to use anything I can off the internals I recently blew up my 427 and that paperweight junk to you could possibly be a season saver to me lol

Sorry for your loss, that truck was absolutely awesome. Give a high 5 to the drone operator, the footage is simply amazing. What Procharger head was on it?

Had dealers here in the Southern Tier of NY,major flooding. I know an adjuster that went down and totalled entire lots of cars that werent even wet to the rims!

I had a car burn down on the side of the highway and had a similar fire department situation except I could see the station and no trucks came from it. Luckily we can use a lot of that car to put it back together.

damn that sucks i'm looking forward too seeing you win another NPK championship this year you are the man Ryan FireBall Martin you can''t beat what you can't catch baby

QUICK! Spray some gloss on it to preserve that Sweet Petina!

Het iv got to say you are a really good sport about the situation but hey I've got to be completely honest with you I'm very impressed with you an ur guys i give you mad respect for being yourself not being tv land people so that I appreciate the most an when I get back on my feet from pretty much losing everything I had because of covid I will definitely buy some merchandise from you to support ur channel and again thank you for being u please don't lose who you are because that's what I respect the most of all an btw u freaking tuning animal mad props thank you my friend hopefully someday in the near future I get the honor ii .meeting you sir thank you for being you . Cheddar

Lol the baby rabbit took off at 17:56 😂 Sad to hear about the truck guys. It sure was beautiful.

Sorry about the loss , yes its lucky the house survived and no one was hurt but......DAMN THAT TRUCK WAS SWEET AND IT SUCKS TO SEE IT LEAVE THAT WAY. Hopefully you'll have another one soon in the 8s that you have to name "Phoenix" or "Ashey Larry"

I had a similar incident happen where I was first on scene at a really bad motorcycle crash. When I called 911 I was exactly 4 miles from the ambulance shed I finally got 911 to dispatch a air lift helicopter from 30 miles away and it arrived landed and the flight crew was at the accident befor the local ambulance crew got there from 4 miles away. All because both ambulance crews were out at lunch at a local restaurant. From my first 911 call to being looped in the the Helicopter flight crew giving vitals and trying to keep this man alive the helicopter landed 21 min after 911 was called and the local 4 mile away ambulance crew arrived at 37 min for the second injured motorcycle rider. The helo was lifting off with the first one as the Ambulance was just arriving. Sad to say the air lifted man died from head injuries him and his friends were riding Route 66 from Chicago to LA they were from Australia. I met the man’s daughters when they came to claim his body and they thanked me for trying to help their dad

Outstanding gentlemen great content. Sorry about truck really sucks.

In the drone footage, you can see the stream of molten metal on the drivers side. That was a sweet truck!

Glad no one was hurt man its such a shame to see that happen to anyones vehicle but especially a badass chevy !

Nice to finally hear the story. So happy you can laugh about it and give Ricky a hard time without sacrificing a good friendship. Losing a vehicle to fire is a horrible thing. I know this firsthand after watching my one and only 1969 Camaro burn (reason for my internet moniker). In the end no one was hurt friendships prevailed and everyone was made as whole as possible in a horrible situation. Thank you for sharing this story. Even the hard stories are still special. Can't wait to see NPK championship Number 4!

That fire department delay is just a normal day in South Africa 😂😂

I have been with a fire company for the past 20. If we a call in the middle of are training class we drop what we are doing in the class and go to the fire. Glad no one was hurt, but here is what I would do I would send that motor back to the builder and get it rebuild and put it in the red car next the truck as a sleeper.

How much for the tbird and do you deliver? That body style is my favorite one for the thunderbird.

That was a good looking truck, personally I like the nose of the GMC better than the Chevy. Props to Richard for his quick thinking to launch the drone and get that footage, nice job.

Sucks to lose a truck but you guys made a good video. Hope it pays back something

That's terrible, glad everyone is ok. That was a beautiful truck.

The American Flag in the yard survived, that's another bonus.

I knew it burned down from the hints you’ve dropped and it was mentioned in some of Shawn’s videos when upgrading Aiden’s truck. I just had no idea of how or details. It would still be nice to know the cause of the fire it might help others to possibly avoid it. I also hope the fire department caught a lot of hell over this and learned to not have all their equipment and manpower somewhere else and not ready for a call.

That was awesome.

I’ve always wondered what happened to the Lightening race truck that Cali Chris used to drive for you.

Those turbo coupe thunderbirds are bad ass, I wish I was closer to you, lol.

I want that t bird turbo coupe , mine got burnt just like redrum , except my ex father in law did it in his shop , I think on purpose , I've been looking for another 1 for me and my kids to build together again , it ran all over norman back in the day

Wow! Talk about a comedy of errors. I don't know that if a "story" was filmed about this without the input of you all that anyone would believe that this is true. This a so amazing. So many pieces came together in a awesome way, only to be destroyed in an astounding manner that could have been so much more worse that it was. Fortunately no one was hurt. Unfortunately you lost a truck load of money, because time and effort are tied directly to money, and the lessons that you all learned throughout this whole situation are invaluable. I am thankful that you all can laugh about it, and it is one super hilarious story, thank you for sharing it in an absolutely funny way that you all and us can enjoy and laugh about.

A real Fireball 🔥😱

The fire didn’t get the flag in the yard, which was still proudly waving.

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A REAL FIREBALL

Beautiful truck!

i had no idea red rum was a fireball truck(not literally but in the sense of being red like ryans cars). kyle loftis and cleetus are gonna be so devastated

Well one things for sure. Never let Ryan and his guys work on your vehicle. 😂

It was Hurricane Ike... we lost it all on Bolivar Peninsula.... have a good one!

Yeah the first car learned on was a 1983 Ford Thunderbird with a four-cylinder turbo I paid 300 at 17

My 04 Silverado 5.7 had a recall wit wurst under seat it caught on fire over night and luckily it snuffed itself out after burning seats

That turbo coupe is sweet

Y’all have to remember that if they were training they have hoses strung out. I would like to see you drag some 2”/3” fire hoses filled with water and try to rack them to get them on the truck loaded safely. 11:55

From one extreme to much water to start its life to the next extreme fire no water to end it's life. R.I.P RED RUM🔥🚒👎

I remember that day, I worked at the track at the time

really sad that happened thank the lord no one was hurt and the fire did not get to the house

Cars can be bought lives are a one time offer glad you guys can laugh about this now

I like that turbo coupe.. just looks like it's standing still in time sitting there..

I heard that fire department has not lost a basement yet 😂😂

Ryan could have a 5 minute standup routine about the Noble fire department. 😂 Seriously though that sucks that was a sweet truck.

I like that turbo coupe. Use to have one.

Dang it Ricky

that sucks. almost lost a zl1 to a fire. seen to many cars on fire to the point i keep an extinguisher in the trunk. Only thing that saved my zl1

Bet that grass came back greener and thicker than it ever has

Makes me sad that there's an '87/88 Thunderbird turbo coupe just sitting there rotting away.😢

I’m not even a Chevy guy, but damn that’s heartbreaking for anyone to watch let alone happen to.

I'd bet that grass grew back really nicely!!

1:36 Hurricane IKE it destroyed my Hometown of Bridge City, TX only less than 12 homes were not damaged the lowest height of water was 6ft. Rest of the City Had from 14ft. down.

17:55 the rat runs out!! 😂

Body looks good enough to build something. That would be pretty cool

Good story while hanging out at a campfire 🔥

That looks like my Dodge that my brother and I wrecked I'm glad you got out and hopefully you have another vehicle you can drive because it sucks not having a vehicle I haven't had one since the wreck which was July 7th

I bet that grass grew back nicely!

Glad no one got hurt! Did you guys ever figure out what caused the fire?

RIP RedRum sorry to see what happened you’ll be missed ❤

I’m in need of that Turbo coupe , super bad for a build I’m doing.

Hay that will buff right out bud

Good times lol. As long as nobody was hurt you can do anything but laugh I guess

Damn that's nuts

Damn that really suck. I was wondering what happened to it.

The 88 thunderbird tho omg sorry to see the truck burned but saw the bird and thought I would say someone love those cars I got one

Just going to say if that shortblock is ok ,I will be amazed. Fire is truly worst case .

So sorry that was a beautiful truck

So that was a nitrous ls making 1300?? What were you spraying, a 600 shot? Or was it procharged?

Lots of magnesium,once it lights gotta have special extinguishers to supress,then tons of water!

Sad day for sure my friend...

Hi Ryan, I actually would love the Thunderbird to start a build that I could possibly race! It'd be a daily driver like the Malibu that THE OLD MANS GARAGE has with a built 302 or possibly a 331 with inexpensive turbo(s) and trick flow intake and somebody's carburetor on it. I'm a poor boy from the woods of VA. I live in NC and work at a restaurant in Durham NC so will do all the work myself except for cage and other safety equipment that is vital. Give me a good price on it cause I'm sure to ship it here is going to make my pocket scream and my woman leave!

Dam what's up with the t bird. 87 turbo coupe..... that was my first car... not a Ford guy, but dam, they are fun...

Damn I want the tbird! Sucks you're to far away

Can you use the cab and put a tube chassis under it and make a fire ball 1500??

So that was the real fireball👀👀👀👀
